“I am delighted to announce the appointment of Andrew Hauser as Executive Director for Banking, Payments and Financial Resilience. On behalf of the Bank’s senior management team, I look forward to working closely with Andrew in our efforts to ensure the robust delivery of services to critical payment systems, and to reshape core markets and the Bank’s relationship to them via the sound risk management of our balance sheet. I would also like to thank Andrew for all his hard and productive work as head of the Fair and Effective Markets Review secretariat over the past year.”
